Over the 4th of July weekend, I got to watching a bunch of shows on the History Channel about popular food. They covered hot dogs, hamburgers, ice cream, etc., telling about the history and showing places around the United States. Well, somewhere in there, the idea of drawing a fur as your classic 'carhop on roller skates' popped into my head. Her name is 'Chris'. Don't ask me why, 'cause I don't know. :D

Some sort of critter. Mouse? Cat? I don't know. She appears to be trying to think of something, and I think the effort is making her head hurt. :D Not meant to be some sort of stereotypical portrayal of blondes in general, honest. :)

Fantasy cliche: a fierce, sword-wielding barbarian warrior defends a helpless, cowering, unclad, would-be victim from a tentacled menace. You can have a lot of fun by simply reversing gender stereotypes. :)

Some of my friends may recall a discussion on FurryMUCK about this idea: critters with their fur dyed with the markings of other species. Here's HoneyBadger with a tiger-stripe dye-job. I think it looks great. :D

I have to acknowledge some work I saw by Joe Rosales and Tygger Graf for this concept. I hear that the idea actually originates with Jeremy Bernel, but I don't think I've seen those drawings. This one's HoneyBadger with her fur dyed in classic vixen markings. I don't think they suit her as well as the tiger stripes, or her normal markings.
